Humboldt Park School’s community and partners have developed a common vision for a redeveloped greener, healthier schoolyard. The school is actively fundraising to help transform their conceptual plan into reality through December 2024.

Humboldt Park School is located in Milwaukee’s Bay View Neighborhood within the Kinnickinnic River Watershed and the city’s Separated Sewer System. The conceptual plan calls for the removal of 16,250 sq. ft. asphalt and replacing it with new green space and mixed-use recreation and educational areas. The design includes two outdoor classrooms areas, an underground cistern, and the addition of 25 stormwater trees. The inclusion of a variety of native plantings allow for unique spaces on the schoolyard that can represent natural Wisconsin ecosystems, complete with student created signage. The vision also includes a porous, synthetic turf soccer field to further manage rainwater where it falls. The plan manages approximately 182,275 gallons of stormwater per rain event.
